Guy spoke broken English and my Chinese is really only good enough to hold simple conversations. Guy saw we had a killer deal on a 3D gaming laptop and decided to buy it. I think he mainly just wanted it cause it was a good deal 1800 discounted to 999. But something about an elderly 70+ year old Chinese man buying a 3D gaming laptop makes me lol. :p

He probably came in looking for an inexpensive laptop that he could use for email and minor word processing, but like all Best Buy salesmen types...you sold him this one instead. (Hey, look at the easy profit and commission I can make from this FOB old man...:p

No you can't see the best part of it from those pics. It has this horrible textured surface that makes me think of those old plastic lunch boxes kids used to take to school. It's REALLY ugly!!

You realize that Best Buy sales people do not make commission right?

Shhh...don't spoil things...besides, I did say "best buy type" of sales people, and profit (for the company) and commission...referring to sales people who push to sell stuff people don't need/want, but often buy because of their ignorance.

I'd buy that shit at $999. Throw in my free Xbox and boo-ya!

Holy shit. I know those places love to make a killing on service plans and overpriced accessories, but a 1 year plan for $280 and the 2yr plan for $630?

They way they look at it is if you have to replace the motherboard in the laptop, you're looking at $200 (random price) + $100 for the installation. The year would cover that. Also covers accidental, so if you're stupid and you step on your laptop or drop it or spooge spill something on it, you get a new one.

We have to write down our sales as the day goes on and are ranked that way. You get service plans and shit yay if not fuck you.

Wow.. just a 350M? Way overpriced IMO. You are just doing your job, but that is one crappy laptop.

Not only just a 350M. Remember the 350M has to do double duty when playing games in 3D! D: I'm usually pretty straight forward with customers and stear them away from purchases that they wouldn't be happy with or that don't suit them. However this was an odd case. I don't speak enough Chinese to explain much to him and he doesn't speak enough English to understand why I wouldn't recommend it. So I basically just kept saying yup that's a great deal and nodding my head. He basically talked himself into buying it. He seemed to want it just cause it was a great deal. Apparently he has like 3 laptops already or something. I can't see this guy playing any games let along 3D games but meh whatever. Plus I really needed the sale to hit my monthly target anyway :p
